Also known as lumpectomy, breast lump removal surgery is the procedure of removing the benign tumor from one or both breasts. Lumpectomy is often performed for small breast lumps. This technique preserves the breast tissues while removing the lump successfully. If multiple lumps of large size are present, then the doctor may opt for mastectomy in which all or most of the breast tissues are removed.

Diagnosis
During the consultation with the doctor, he/she will perform a physical examination to identify the lump. The doctor will ask about the symptoms you have been having recently and what kind of changes you’ve noticed lately in the shape, size, or texture of each breast.
For an accurate diagnosis, the doctor is likely to recommend a series of tests to identify the problem and rule out the possibility of breast cancer.
The following tests are recommended to detect the lumps in the breast tissues.
The results of these tests help a doctor to determine the severity of the condition along with the right method for breast lump removal.
Procedure
Depending on the type of breast lump, the doctor will have to use different techniques to remove it. Usually, the doctor places a metal marker or clip around the lump. Before starting the procedure, you will change into a hospital gown and be given either general or local anesthesia.
The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis and as an inpatient procedure. You are likely to get discharged on the same day. However, if there are some risks or potential complications, the doctor may prolong the hospital stay. You will get discharged once the doctor ensures that your health is fine.
Prior to surgery, you will have multiple sessions with the doctor to determine the severity of the breast lump and to identify the best way to treat it. During the appointments, the doctor will prepare you mentally for the procedure and explain what the surgery entails.
Besides that, the doctor will gather information about your symptoms, medical history, and family history. The breast exams will take place, and once everything is decided, the doctor will proceed accordingly.
During the days before the surgery, the doctor may ask you to-
Meanwhile, you should let the doctor know if there are chances that you are pregnant, taking some herbal supplements, have allergies to specific medicines, or if you’ve had reactions to anesthesia in the past.
The doctor will also give specific instructions about what to eat and drink on the day of surgery and when you should get admitted to the hospital. If you have any other doubts or concerns, you can talk to the doctor as required.
During The Surgery
The risks during breast surgery are similar to any other procedure. It includes-
Post-Surgery Complications
Immediately after the procedure, you will be kept in the recovery room to check your vitals. Once you wake up and the effects of anesthesia wear off, you may feel slight pain and discomfort at the surgical site.
The entire recovery will take place at home. Thus, the surgeon will prepare a guide for you that consists of instructions to follow for a faster and smoother recovery. There will be bruising and swelling around the surgical site, which will take time to disappear. The doctor will prescribe medications for pain and inflammation and to reduce the risk of infections after the surgery.
You should consider undergoing breast lump removal surgery if-
There are different causes and types of breast lumps, and each one of them can be treated through surgery and non-surgical methods. The non-surgical treatment methods involve the following-
For other causes of breast lumps, including hyperplasia, adenosis, intraductal papilloma, lipoma, or calcification, surgery may be needed.
After having breast lump removal surgery, it may be difficult to sleep on the sides. The best position will be placing some pillows under your back and keeping the upper body elevated. As the breast heals, you will feel more comfortable sleeping on your back and sides.
After breast lump surgery, you should eat low-fat protein, such as baked fish and roasted chicken. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and avoid processed foods completely.
Yes, the doctor is likely to suggest wearing a soft bra 24 hours a day for the first 4-6 weeks after the surgery. Later on, the time can be reduced to 12 hours a day.
As your breasts are affected even with minor movements in the body, you should avoid-
There is no hard and fast rule that will restrict you from driving after a lumpectomy. However, the doctor will advise you to avoid driving as long as you are taking pain medications.
The recovery period after breast lump removal depends on the type of procedure and your overall health. Generally, the recovery will take around one month or less if you follow the doctor’s advice strictly. Make sure that you pay attention to your health, eat healthy foods, and keep the surgical site clean and dry to prevent post-surgery complications.
Before the surgery, the lump can be felt clearly. But after the procedure, the lump will no longer exist. The shape and size of the breast are also likely to be affected due to the surgery.
Lumpectomy or Excisional Biopsy
This procedure is preferred for small breast lumps. It involves draining the fluid accumulation and excising the lump from the breasts along with a small amount of healthy tissues surrounding the lump.
Mastectomy
This method is used to remove breast tissues to a great extent. It is used when there are multiple lumps present in the breast, which cannot be removed without causing deformation in the breasts.
Ms. Shivani Negi (name changed) contacted Pristyn Care to get treatment from Dr. Nibedita Parida. She had a complaint regarding a lump in her breasts. Dr. Nibedita performed a physical examination and also suggested some diagnostic tests to identify the type of breast lump.
It was found that Ms. Shivani had a fibroadenoma. The doctor scheduled surgery two days later. The breast lump was removed successfully through excision, and the breast tissues were preserved. It took only 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the surgery. After surgery, Ms. Shivani was transferred to the observation room and kept there for two hours. Later on, she was transferred to the recovery room and got discharged on the same day.
Her follow-ups were scheduled 10 days after the surgery and then 15 days later. Ms. Shivani followed all the instructions given by the doctor for post-op care, and she recovered very quickly. She was very happy with the results of the surgery as the lump was no longer noticeable or could be felt.
